CEPI links up with Moderna to harness mRNA technology

30 October 2023

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is collaborating with US mRNA specialist Moderna, (Nasdaq: MRNA) that will harness Moderna's platform to accelerate the development of vaccines against viral disease outbreaks that threaten global health.

The work undertaken as part of this partnership could expand the infectious disease targets for mRNA vaccine technology and strengthen pandemic preparedness and public health efforts in alignment with the 100 Days Mission, a global goal to compress vaccine development timelines to 100 days.

mRNA technology has been identified as a pivotal enabler of the 100 Days Mission due to its flexibility as a rapid-response platform on which new vaccine candidates can be designed and quickly made ready for clinical testing and subsequent scale-up, potentially within days from the moment a new viral threat is identified. Moderna's leading mRNA platform has enabled the development of a highly effective COVID-19 vaccine, which has subsequently been approved by multiple stringent regulatory authorities worldwide.
